Before his microfracture sugery, Amare’s game was similar to Blake’s–attempting crazy dunks from 18 ft. out, etc. Amar’e was not the same player after his knee operations. Blake may not be either.

Dude is crazy explosive, but that will only last so long. If he uses his explosiveness at certain times instead of 100%. His career will be much longer.

As much as id love 2 see him embarrass some euros I was surprised he was gonna play in the Olympics after he had those knee scares in the playoffs. A guy who plays the way he does needs to take his off season rest seriously

I was only 17 so of course I wasn’t able to join the police academy so I became an explorer. Good luck on a speedy recovery and congrats in advance in graduating. If you have the heart to still go through with a torn achilles you should knock it out the second time around.

The best thing to do is constantly massage the area before/after playing and using ice and stim. Sometimes you just can’t protect the ligaments. I tore mine right off the bone in police explorer academy and it was just a freak accident.

There were a lot of posters on here who were shouted down as haters for pointing out that BG lands very akwardly when he dunks, but physics is physics, and that kind of akward shock can lead to some major wear and tear, punctuated by injuries like this.
